Today

I had quite a good day today, despite the fact that I spent it on my own because Pete was buggering off to see his brother and leaving me all alone! :-p @ Pete. This morning I went down town, because I needed to get some new shoes for work, I've been meaning to get some for a while, but well, I got paid on thursday so I thought I'd go today. I ended up getting two pairs in the Clarks sale, spent far too much money, so it looks like I'll be starving for the next four weeks. The shoes I got were nice tho, one is just a comfy pair of really dark navy shoes for work, the other is a pair of black suedey trainery things being clarks springers, they fit like a glove. I've been breaking them in all afternoon, but they don't really need it. I also got a hoover for my fish tank to clean the muck from out of the bottom. I also discovered the pleasures of the new Toffee Crisp MacFlurry. Mmmmmm.
On the way home on the bus I was standing there with my bags full of shoes (plus a load of carrots and cabbage for the guinea pigs) and trying not to fall over when the bus went round corners at stupid speeds. A little old lady caught my eye and offered the seat next to her. Gratefully I took it, and I spent the rest of the journey listening to her talk about her life. She had been married for 49 years before her husband died, argued a lot about his smoking. She described herself as bloody minded :-) but she was lovely, and I wish I could have talked to her for longer but it's only a short journey to my house from the bus station.
When I got in I proceded to clean my fish tank, the hoover thing works by siphoning, but I found that when I used the attachment on the end, it started sucking the sand up from the bottom of the tank, so I had to take it off. This meant that I had to suck the tube to get it to start siphoning...Well after a mouthful of fishtank water I made sure I got it right the following go! The tank is nice and clean now tho, so I shouldn't have to do it again for a while...must remember to stop sucking before the water gets to the end of the tube next time :-(
After doing the tank I decided to tidy some of my junk. Listened to a bit of Avril Levigne while I was doing it, that girl has an amazing voice. Then, well I decided to go a bit retro cos while I was tidying I found a tape I hadn't listened to for a while. Haddaway! Does anyone remember Haddaway? I think I bought it while I was still in high school, so we're talking maybe ten or twelve years ago. I still remember most of the words too, classic songs such as, 'What is love?' and 'Life'. I followed Haddaway with Britney's 'Baby One More Time' album. :::sigh::: I know, sad isn't it, it was either Britney or Nickelback, and Britney won.
Mum and Dad are back on tuesday, the house isn't too bad tho, just needs hoovering, I can do that on monday night. I think I've wittered enough now. I was trying before to use Hello and the bloggerbot to add photo's and stuff. If you find any odd entries with mad pictures on, thats why!
